Antoine Griezmann believes it will be difficult for Barcelona to re-sign Neymar and form a star-studded attack with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
Barca sealed a €120million move for Griezmann this month and are reportedly keen to bring Neymar back from Paris Saint-Germain, who signed him for a world record €222m in August 2017.
The World Cup winner is unwilling to contemplate lining up alongside the Brazilian until a deal is done, with the Catalan giants reportedly offering €100m and two of Ousmane Dembele, Philippe Coutinho, Samuel Umtiti, Nelson Semedo, Ivan Rakitic and Malcom in exchange.
Griezmann thinks it will be tricky for Barca to get a move over the line and stated they already have sufficient talent to challenge on multiple fronts.
We have to get it done first, because it is a difficult transfer, he told Sky Sports.
But he is a great player, he s had a couple of injuries but is at an incredible level.
We also have Dembele, Coutinho and Malcom who are also important players for us and let s hope we can achieve great things with them.
I hope I will have an important role, I want to be an important player for the team and help in whatever way I can.
As long as I enjoy playing with my team-mates and give it all on the pitch, it doesn t matter.
What a start! ++
